Linear inductive position sensors

May 2, 2012
BIP linear inductive position sensor features absolute measuring for position monitoring in drive spindles and clamping devices for tools and workpieces. It is non-contact and detects linear travel to 40 mm, while offering resolution of 14 µm, high repeat accuracy of ±80 µm and non linearity of ±250 µm.
BIP linear inductive position sensor features absolute measuring for position monitoring in drive spindles and clamping devices for tools and workpieces. It is non-contact and detects linear travel to 40 mm, while offering resolution of 14 µm, high repeat accuracy of ±80 µm and non linearity of ±250 µm. Available outputs include 0-10 V and 4-20 mA. Its high degree of repeat accuracy guarantees high process quality, even in cramped locations with temperatures up to 85°C.

Mechanical adjustments are not necessary as the sensor is teachable on site, allowing the measuring range to be adapted to the application. With the IO-Link Variant this is also possible via the control system.

It can also be used for other linear motion applications such as punch depth, grab positions, rolling positions, valve positions, etc.
